At what level of the judicial court system did this legal opinion occur? The United States Court of Appeals Fourth Circuit (Reynolds, 2004; Simkins, et al., 1962). What was the opinion of the lower court that was finally overturned in Simkins? In a 3-2 decision, the Fourth Circuit overturned the district ruling, looking to whether the hospitals and the government were so disheveled by funding and law (Martin, 2015; Reynolds, 2004; Rossman & Allen, 1964). The Court discovered the provision for segregated, “separate but equal” facilities to be unauthorized, and struck down that percentage of the Hill-Burton Act. A disapproval, authored by the Judge Haynsworth and joined by Judge …show more content…
(February 22, 2013) http://basichealthaccess.blogspot.com/ Discuss why you think that Simkins vs. Moses H. Cone Mem. Hospital makes or fails to make a big difference in decreasing health inequities? The success of the Simkins case and its posterity revolved the finding that federal spending provided the obligatory state action to require compliance with the Constitution. The channel of the Medicare and Medicaid Acts pervaded the American Health Care System with taxpayer monies to purchase health care for America’s elderly, disabled and poor citizens. Consequently, the spending supremacy of the federal government provided sufficient leverage to attack obviously discriminatory system-level practices. The Simkins case made possible the enactment of Title VI and gave birth to a tool of astonishing effectiveness for fighting racial segregation in hospitals and health care institutions (Basic Health Access, 2015; Matthew, 2005). Part II Read the two documents on Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). Explain how enterprise risk management is or is not different from basic risk management. Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) requires a great deal of hard work and senior-level commitment. For businesses that practice ERM effectively, the rewards can be staggering: market leadership, robust growth, stock price premiums, and investor confidence. However, in a traditional risk management service structure, the effort is departmentalized and focused primarily on hazard risks. Using this approach, an organization rarely makes relative comparisons among its risks to determine how they interact with one another or to evaluate their cumulative effect on the organization (Chitakornkijsil, 2010; Lam, 2014; Louisot & Ketcham, 2014). Conversely, in an ERM environment, there is a senior executive or CRO (Chief Risk Officer) who equates and assesses all of the risks the
In 1973 a thirty-three year-old Caucasian male named Allan Bakke applied to and was denied admission to the University of California Medical School at Davis. In 1974 he filed another application and was once again rejected, even though his test scores were considerably higher than various minorities that were admitted under a special program. This special program specified that 16 out of 100 possible spaces for the students in the medical program were set aside solely for minorities, while the other 84 slots were for anyone who qualified, including minorities. What happened to Bakke is known as reverse discrimination. Bakke felt his rejections to be violations of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th amendment, so he took the University of California Regents to the Superior Court of California. It was ruled that "the admissions program violated his rights under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment"1 The clause reads as follows:"...No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor without due process of the law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."2 The court ruled that race could not be a factor in admissions. However, they did not force the admittance of Bakke because the court could not know if he would have been admitted if the special admissions program for minorities did not exist.

To prove there is a case under Section 1983, it would have to be proven that the claim of denial of constitutional rights was caused by action “under color of state law.” It was concluded by the Fourth Circuit that Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital had, by pursuing and obtaining Hill-Burton funds, as part of a state proposal to produce and sustain a racially segregated “separate but equal” dual hospital system, performed in the capacity of color of state law, and as a result it was bound to the requiremen...
In the modern day, health care can be a sensitive subject. Politically, health care in America changes depending on whom is President. Obamacare and Trumpcare are different policies regarding health care, which many people have passionate feelings towards. However, not many Americans are informed about Norman Daniels’ view on health care. Throughout this paper I will be outlining Norman Daniels’ claims on the right to health care, and the fundamental principles in which he derives to construct his argument. By means of evaluating Daniels’ argument, I will then state my beliefs regarding the distributive justice of health care.
In Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall’s article, “An African American’s Perspective on the Constitution”, he concedes that the founding father’s Constitution contained numerous imperfections. Marshall feels it was a product of time and tremendous courage that brought forth the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution, which guarantees an individual’s Lockean rights to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”. Marshall believed the achievements that secured these individuals rights “belongs to those who refused to acquiesce in outdated notions” of life, liberty, and property. Thus, Marshall points out that the progression of time necessitates the modernization of the Constitution. Thomas Jefferson even anticipated the future evolution of our society and substituted the words “pursuit of happiness” for “property” in the Declaration of Independence having realized that someday our values would reshape. As public support for federal involvement has increased overtime, the Constitution is amended to better represent our evolving society. Although current public opinion favors federal support to provide access to healthcare, the design of our government dramatically lengthens the time necessary to implement modernize the Constitution. As the importance in maintaining one’s health has increased in America, the public has demanded the government to provide healthcare, however, the Constitutional prose recognizes the right to health but not the right to healthcare.
... for emotional distress. The effect of this Congressional Act, continues to be a pivotal force within the workplace and to give fare reparations for those black people who have been treated. In examining the various Congressional Acts that the African American community has faced spanning from the 1700s to the late 1990s, helps display the ways in which there has been some progression for change. The time span from the 1700s to the 1990s shows the progress for Congressional Acts that helps to uplift black people. In this way there has been a breakthrough in sense of unity and connection between the black community and society as a whole.
No citizen shale ever be ignored no matter their race, state of health, or class. In the US “barriers generally stem from forces within the organizational environment of the health care delivery system or within the broader social system itself” (Barr, 2011, p. 273). This is why health policy scholars need to study health disparities so that equal care can ultimately be reached. Currently some disparities that are obvious in society are unequal dispersion and quality of care between racial groups, genders, and those with low middle class income. The health care system needs to be fixed and in order for that to happen health scholars must study better procedures so that the best possible outcome can be reached for the American
According to the institute of Medicine (IOM), racism is a problem in the health care system, that is, the difference between the quality of health care received by minorities and non-minorities is due to racism. IOM is a nonprofit organization that advises the federal government and the public on science policy. It released a report that on average, minorities receive a lower quality of care, even when factors such as income and type of health insurance are accounted for. The report by IOM states that racial stereotypes and prejudice are the cause of the health care disparities. The article by IOM points ...

The determinations must be joined with broader rules and companies to support community health through racial equity in education, occupation, lodging, and the court system. Better incorporation of these methods to decrease racial disparities in health care and community health will endure and rush progress in narrowing the racial gap in life expectancy, and it will boost the financial value that comes with better well-being and endurance. Until then, efforts to battle racial inequality will persist as significant in health care as they are in many other surfaces of American
...ity, as well as inequalities in education, employment, and housing, all contribute to health discrepencies. Health care reform, as envisioned within the ACA, should be viewed as treatment of the symptoms of an unequal system, not treatment of the cause. To speak metaphorically, America has a pre-existing condition of institutional racism. Capitalist structure, political climate and discourse, and notions of imperialism, deny treatment. The Affordable Care Act addresses this condition as a localized disease, rather than a systemic one, that’s cause is rooted in the hegemonic reproduction of ideological superstructures. Only when health care is treated as a basic right, rather than an economic commodity, and health disparites are recognized in a greater political context, can health reform offer an opportunity to overcome racial disparities and achieve health equity.
In this essay, the position I will argue is that it is not ethical to allow an elderly white man to discriminate against African American health care professionals from entering his home. The African American race is a recognized minority in the United States representing only 13.1% of the population (US Quickfacts). Compared to the Caucasian population holding 77.9% of the population, African American’s are in the minority (US Quickfacts). With the knowledge that the African American race is a minority, they are less represented. Using three outlets to support my position, I will make a case against racial discrimination in a health care environment, specially the elderly white man’s home. First, I will use laws and policies that have been passed to protect against racial discrimination in the United States. Second, I will reference moral teachings to illustrate how legal standing can be supported in ethical decision-making. Lastly, I will argue my position against racial discrimination in a private social environment, such as this elderly man’s home. Through these three examples, I will defend my position that it is not ethical for the elderly white ...
Some include risks at the enterprise level, managing risks in complex projects and dealing with turnarounds and large capital projects. Liu, Zou, & Gong (2013) explore how enterprise risk management (ERM) may influence the ability and performance of project management risk (PRM) by considering the features of the construction industry, its businesses and projects. Managing risks within projects such as these has become an important process to achieve project objectives in terms of the scope, time and cost. The results show that enterprise risk management can positively influence the implementation of project risk management. This can be achieved through implementing a risk focused culture, setting up risk management departments and setting up risk procedures. This will help control the project risk and improve the performance of project risk management. Communicating the concerns with other team members can help identify the risks earlier on rather than later in the development of the project. If the Stakeholders and managers involved are satisfied then the project outline becomes a
Align and integrating different views of risk management: ERM can provide a common framework to manage different kinds of risk. It can provide WP management and board a clear view of risks management. The clearer the management understand risks, the more stable WP can be.
